Desert Thunder Marine, Name that boat.

[Stealth Marine]

Ok guys, all of you helped me come up with a new name for the business.
Now its time to Name the Boat.
What should we call our 25ft boat??
Previous suggestions included..
Avenger
Wrath
Oblivion
The Vindicator
The Revenge
Malice
The Retribution
Damnation
Hell, Fire & Brimstone
Obliteration
Retaliator

Burn
Heat Stroke
Backdraft
Flame
Fire
Venus
Time to start printing up some new brochures so I need a good name.
Question:
Do you think I should call all the versions of the boat the same name, or come up with something different for the Open Bow vs. the Closed Bow vs. the Walkthrough ??

[BigDogIvan]

I'll take a shot at this.
I have been here pondering the new name and thinking of what comes with Thunder. Could be the Storm line where you have the Open Storm for the open bow. Covered Storm for the closed and Wondering or Walking Storm for the walk through. :idea: :confused: Or just Lightning

[lucky]

lightning strike
or just lightnig - nothing as fast or hot as lighting
oasis - has a nice ring -

[phebus]

This theory has worked very good fo a little company like DCB, but why not just call it what it is. Desert Thunder V25 (or 25V if that strikes your fancy)

Thats pretty simple.
Not too sure it lends itself to much imagination on the customer's part though?

I like your train of thought.
Desert Thunder = Storm.
Now what kind of storms are there that offer an inspiring noun or two?
Squall?

Be creative with the boats, and the customers will come.
You were very open taking suggestions on what customers wanted or disliked in the design of the boats they would want to purchase, now it's your turn to deliver.
What, are the customers going to participate in the lay up and glassing on the boats to?
Draw the line, and produce the boats. I have confidence they will be very nice and thought out.

How about the Monsoon ??

[Indiansprings]

Monsoon sounds like a fast 25' boat, dont it? I like that.

[wantacat]

I will take a shot at this....Since its Desert storm, the bigger the boat the bigger the storm. So for example you start of with a monsoon, its a quick storm. As you go with a bigger boat you name it after a bigger storm.

You would be AMAZED at just how involved some people want to be.
We have some that come on a DAILY basis to watch their boat being built.

Well that certainly elimiates them.
Desert Thunder Marine, 25 Monsoon....
This sounds good..
Desert Thunder Marine, 25 Thunder.
Doesn't work.
Desert Thunder Marine, 25 Storm
This has possibilities.
Question is, Should I name the three variations differently?
Closed Bow
Open Bow
Open Bow Walk Through
Do they each get their own name?

right after a storm - their is an essence of fresness
or Rush --- to get out of the rain
or a band of men with ar 15 and night vission - you choose
personally - when i read these names they sound to much like every other boat out there - kinda remindes me of a looking at a bravada and an s 10 - is still get the two confused :)
why don't you pay tribute to our armed forces - they provoke a sence of Terror - --
ya got delta force - rangers ( althou you think of a bass boat ) sniper
bla bla bla -
Just trying to help think outside the norm ! don't stick your boat in a box ! :D

[Huckleberry]

I was thinking Monsoon when i saw it had been posted already a few times. It goes along well with the Desert Thunder name.

[Mandelon]

I wouldn't try to come up with a name for each version of the same hull. that's just too many names.
Keeping with the desert theme how about animals of the desert?
And other thunder type names:
Storm
Cyclone
Scirroco
Surge
Island
Vision
Try a language translator on the internet. "Thunder" in German, is Donner. Not the best connotation with that one, but others might sound cool. Pick strong languages. Maybe add a few different ones together for a new word.

[Indiansprings]

All 25' are Monsoon's. I think that would work best for ya. :)

[78Southwind]

That is exactly what came to my mind too. Storm and then lightning.

So your thinking something along the lines of..
25 Squad
25 Troop
25 Platoon
25 Element
25 Detail
or maybe
25 Airborne
25 Cavalry
25 Infantry
25 Corps
25 Brigade
25 Freedom
25 Justice
25 Liberty
With a Deutsch flavor
25 Howitzer
25 Panzer
25 Blitz
With a Francais flavor
25 Abandon
25 Retreat
25 Traitor
25 Accomplice
25 Coward

That sounds like a good personal name for the back of your boat.

I think Monsoon sticks with the Desert Thunder theme, but a Monsoon is a weather occurence over land.
Why not Typhoon? That is a weather occurence on the water.

Hmm
Good thought.
Not sure.
here in Havasu everyone is familiary with the "Monsoons" that come at the end of the summer.
Question is?
When you buy a Monsoon, does it leave you all wet??

[Stealth Marine]

Yup.
Thats pretty darn original.
Don't think I have seen anyone else offering a "25 Boat" for sale !!

[Stealth Marine]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
We have settled in on "DTM-25 Monsoon" for the 2005 season.
